[rspec]spec_server: already initialized constant MyTestClass

Testing RSpec
#1

I’m creating a class in my spec file to test out a module, but when I
run the spec a second time in spec_server, I get the error above.

I presume this is because rails is un-loading the class, and it’s not
getting re-loaded properly.

Does anyone have a nice workaround for this?

cheers,

What version of rspec[-rails]?

we know we need to upgrade but when you have 4798 examples it’s not a task
you undertake lightly!

is that likely to be the problem?

It is likely the problem as the 1.2.6 release includes a spec_server
fix. There shouldn’t be any breaking changes from 1.2.2 to 1.2.6
(famous last words) so I’d give that a quick try in a branch and see
how it does.
